Details

What's wrong: The rear carrier platform could break if a kawasaki genuine accessory luggage system is installed on the carrier platform and a passenger leans against it.

Why it matters: The carrier platform and luggage system could become detached from the vehicle, creating the potential for a crash which could result in injury or death.

The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the rear carrier platform if necessary. The recall began on February 4, 2008.
